Answer 1

Answer: Sana's ability to recall geographic facts that she learned at school is an example of:

D. Semantic Memory

Explanation: Semantic Memory is a more structured record of facts, meanings, concepts and knowledge about the external world that we have acquired.

It, therefore, includes such things as types of food, capital cities, social customs, functions of objects, vocabulary, understanding of mathematics, etc.
